Who is using an oil deflector under the intake?

There’s no way the difference in intake manifold temp from a crank driven fan makes up for the power that the fan steals. Electric fans eat up a ton of HP. If the slight change manifold temp cold make up for that then the baffle would make a huge difference. Heat transfer through the oil is a lot faster than heat transfer through air...

I don't even think that was an argument. What was said was, that normally, hot rod engines make WAY more than enough power to warrant a crank driven fan. And if that's not true with your build, then you need to stop wussy builds.
